Many smoke plumes are visible in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in this SeaWiFS image. Dust can also be seen blowing offshore in Namibia. From www.earthscienceworld.org: This true-color image of mainland Southeast Asia was acquired on November 30, 2001, by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA’s Terra spacecraft. The light brown Mekong River winds its way through the center of the Cambodian jungle and into southern Vietnam. The dark blue patch to the left of the river at the bottom of the image is the Tonle Sap. Literally translated to mean Great Lake, the Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. During the rainy season from May to October, the lake will more than double in size growing from its wintertime extent of 2,500 square kilometers to over 13,000 square kilometers.
